I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan. I own 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,13,13-2, and Lightning Returns. So the question I have is this. The only ones that I own that I haven't ended are 8 and Lightning Returns. So By show of opinion, which one should I devote my days off to? smile.gif

Lightning Returns probably has a higher opinion around here than 8.

Look into other RPGs. I haven't heard good things about Lightning Returns, and I'm one of those guys that think VIII isn't one of the better Final Fantasy games.

I thought the worst of the FF13 trilogy was the first game?

There seems to be a lot of polarization around 13, not just in general but within the sub-series. I think most of the CoN folk I've talked to about it consider 13-1 to be the worst of the series overall, but personally LR is actually my least favorite (though I've really enjoyed them all, truth be told).

Anyway, I would say to finish LR first. But don't spoil it for me because I'm currently a bit stuck at the end of the final boss battle. smile.gif

I heard tell that LR completely ruins Lightning as a character.

Well, there are probably better threads to discuss that, or if not we should make one, but I don't think it ruins her (though, again, I haven't seen the ending, nor will I probably get the "best" ending on this playthrough). She's definitely vastly different than in 13-1, but it's a continuation of where and who she is in 13-2.
